The actor was reminded of Satish when he came across a contestant who resembled him on India Ke Top 1% – The Anil Kapoor Show. Anil Kapoor recently got emotional while remembering his close friend and late actor-filmmaker Satish Kaushik .
A contestant named Gagan appeared on India Ke Top 1% , and his resemblance to Satish Kaushik caught Anil’s attention. Even if this shoot were 70 minutes long, it would not be enough to tell his stories. Anil admitted that Gagan reminded him of his late friend, while Gagan revealed that many people had told him he looked like the actor.
He was a very very dear friend of mine but apart from that his talent and fun was lajawab (excellent). Anil also recalled affectionately calling Satish Kaushik ‘Danny DeVito’. Both actors loved the film Twins and had often imagined playing twin brothers on screen together. However, Anil expressed regret that they never got the chance to play brothers onscreen.
Speaking about his friendship with Satish, Anil said, “My bond with him, I cannot explain. Anil and Gagan later lightened the mood by singing Satish Kaushik’s famous lines, “Mera naam hai Calendra, main chala kitchen ke andar!” from Anil’s 1987 film Mr India, in which Satish played Calendar, the cook.
